Superstar History:
During the Blazenwing Wrestling Federation event WrestleFest II on December 31, 2004, then-C.E.O. of the company Jen Slayton went into labor. Before the show went off the air, BWF Founder David Slayton proudly announced that his wife had given birth to a healthy baby girl. As a result, the story of Melody Linnea Slayton began - quite literally - with a pop from the hometown Milwaukee crowd.
As Melody grew up, her parents divorced, but though they ended up living across the nation from one another (David in Wisconsin, Jen in Florida) they both always managed to make time for her. After showing interest in her parents' profession at a young age, Jen tentatively agreed to let David train their daughter, so long as he do it safely. (And as far as she knows, that is absolutely what happened.)
Over the years, Melody would learn from a number of the biggest names to ever grace the squared circle. Most people who came through BWF knew the girl, and she absorbed whatever knowledge she could like a sponge. Upon reaching her 17th birthday on December 31, 2021, her father surprised her with the news that, after having a serious talk with Jen, Melody would be allowed to set out on her own a year early - provided she still finish high school, of course, and attend college courses when she was able - and begin her wrestling career in earnest. (Previously, her mother had refused to allow any real wrestling before Melody's 18th birthday.)
And so, with a frankly astonishing pedigree behind her and all the potential in the world in front of her, the Scrappy Songbird herself went in search of the first company she would call home. A place she could make her mark and prove herself worthy of the Blazenwing legacy. A journey that led her to the gates of Empire Wrestling, and later, the Blazenwing Wrestling Federation...
